Back in March, The Women’s Podcast book club read Heart the Lover by American author Lily King. The story which tells of a complicated love triangle between college students Jordan, Yash and Sam, was adored by each of our bookclubbers - something regular listeners of the book club will know, doesn’t happen very often. So when we got the opportunity to have King on the podcast, we jumped at the chance.
In today’s episode, the best-selling author joins Róisín Ingle to discuss the teenage relationship which inspired the story and her surprise at the book’s huge success. We also hear about King's chaotic family background growing up in Massachusetts, her formative college years and what it's like to live in Trump's America.
